Before my workout, I did some stretching, foam rolling, and general muscle warmup as I usually do. A lot of times I just kind of go through the motions during this process. This time I had intention and focus to stretch and warmup to the best of my abilities - like I wanted to get the absolutely most out of stretching and caring for my muscles. I found myself being very slow, deliberate, and focused throughout the stretching process. Incorporating many different movements than I usually do in an intuitive way. I made sure I was very thorough to give every muscle group what it needed before my workout.
And again, what really separated this for me was that sense of focus throughout the stretching process. Like I was very conscious with my breathing and movement patterns, which is what yoga is all about.
So long story short, absolutely it would seem to help in those disciplines.

(this is probably a rare case and probably won’t happen to anyone else), so i’m not going to continue as I could potentially cause bowel issues.
